Hit spectate mode as we put this theory on the line and try to turn speculation into sustained income from the Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, and One Piece secondary markets
How it works
Horn of Greed is a public, strategy-driven portfolio where we speculate on the long-term value of TCG cards to generate profit
Buy from the market
We purchase cards from public sources like TCGplayer and Ebay
Hold for value
We hold each card until our exit margins are met, no matter how long it takes
Cash out and reinvest
We sell once targets are reached and put all the gains into the next pick
Rules to follow
These rules keep us clear and consistent, ensuring the strategy remains focused on long-term growth
Practice discipline and patience
Follow the rules over emotion and give each card the time it needs to grow through intentional decisions
Buy for the long game
Prioritize cards with genuine long-term appreciation potential and steer clear of social media hype and sudden spikes
Commit to consistent purchases
Make one purchase every week to build steady momentum, strengthen portfolio growth, and prevent stagnation
Limit monthly spending
Keep monthly spending capped at $1000 and enforce weekly discipline to avoid emotional overspending and ensure the strategy stays on track
Maintain condition standards
Choose only cards in near mint condition to guarantee quality, preserve long-term value, and maximize resale potential
Hold for high returns
Exit positions only after reaching targeted profit margins so every sale delivers meaningful gains to the overall portfolio

Total Invested Capital (TIC) is the total amount of money we deployed into investments. In other words, it shows the total amount spent to acquire the cards in our portfolio.
Fair Market Value (FMV) is the price an asset would sell for in an open, competitive market. In practice, we typically use the TCGPlayer average market price as our FMV benchmark.
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the average yearly rate at which an investment grows over time. In other words, it reflects the steady annual return needed to reach the portfolio’s current value.
